"Profiling the atmospheric boundary layer at European scale"

Upcoming EMS conference: don't miss the abstract submission deadline

HI PROBERS! we want to share here the announcement for the EMS conference we received, hoping to help our colleagues :)

we would like to draw your attention to a session on atmospheric
measurements and instrumentation as part of the forthcoming EMS Annual Meeting:
European Conference for Applied Meteorology and Climatology which is planned to
be held as an in-person meeting at the Poppelsdorf Campus of the University of Bonn,
from 4 to 9 September 2022. The conference will also have an online component.
The measurement session is entitled: Atmospheric measurements: Instruments,
experiments, networks and long-term programs using in-situ and remote sensing
techniques” (UP1.5)

This session is intended to give a forum to discuss recent developments and
achievements in local to regional measurement concepts and technology. There will be
a special emphasis on measurements which seek to improve our understanding of
complex atmospheric processes – especially those characterizing interactions in the
climate system – through obtaining comprehensive data sets. The focus is on
measurements of atmospheric dynamics and thermodynamics, energy and water cycle
components, and on the interaction of the atmosphere with the underlying surface.
The session will also include consideration of novel measurement approaches and
networks under development for future operational use, e.g., within the frame of the
Eumetnet observations program and various COST actions (such as PROBE), and the
performance of new measurement techniques. Manufacturers of hydro-meteorological
instruments and system solutions are thus explicitly invited to present news on sensor
development, sensor performance and system integration.
Techniques may cover in-situ and remote sensing measurements from various
platforms. Special attention will be given to the creation of a new generation of reliable
unmanned instrument networks across Europe that provide calibrated and controlled
data on the boundary layer structure in near-real time. This also includes metrological
aspects of sensor characterization. Contributions are also invited that make use of
advanced data sets for satellite data validation.
With reference to the special conference focus (“Connecting communities”) we
particularly invite contributions that connect different measurement communities (in-
situ vs. remote sensing, ground-based vs. air-/space-borne), that link experimentalists
with modelers or that bridge different scales of atmospheric phenomena.

The deadline for abstract submission is April 26, 2022.

We very much look forward to your contribution to this session. We really hope to meet
again many of you in reality, after more than two years of almost exclusively virtual
contacts, in Bonn
